You left me cold but you still come around
Please don't knock on my door
You want to stay, I don't want you to go
But I know you don't love me no more
I tried and I tried time after time
I've given you all that I can
Now I'm weak and I want you
But I can't take the pain

Please say goodbye again

You come and you go just as you please
Don't care if you got no one else
Your voice is soft and your eyes are sweet
But they don't hold the love you once felt
I tried and I tried time after time
I've given you all that I can
Now I'm weak and I want you
But I can't take the pain
Please say goodbye again

And I know I've wasted time
Just waiting round here for you
Please won't you say goodbye
And this time follow through


Sometimes all that I want
is just to see your sweet face
But I know better than to see you again cause
I know I can't make you stay

I tried and I tried time after time
I've given you all that I can
Now I'm weak and I want you
But I can't take the pain
Please say goodbye again

Grey skies and light fading, headlamps making patterns on the wall
Uptown it's dead now but, out here no one seems to care at all
Slick girls and sick boys and each one lining up to take it home
They hold tight their coin and pray no one has to see the fall
I'm there, yeah I serve them, the one with the empty looking eyes
Come closer, you'll see me: the face that is used to telling lies

Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me...

You sprung me, I'm grateful
I love when you tell me not to speak
I owe you but I know you, you'll have me back but it's gonna take a week
What now kid?, which way love?
Will we ever make up and be friends?
Good news is my shoes is lined with all my nickels and my tens
Let's do them! Just feed me... I hate when I have to go to sleep
You despise me and I love you
It's not much but it's just enough to keep...

Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
And let me stay...

I'll never be the girl that makes your heart melt when you look up and see me walk in... You'll always be my firestarter though!

coming to the v lounge, leaving work an hour earlier than i need to too with the false pretense of achieving work in the sanctuary that is an airport airline lounge.... one of the only current pleasures in my life.

please change when i move back to brisbane. please get easier. I know i'm the only person that can make it easier for myself, but theres always that wishful feeling that someone out there will help make me feel complete.
90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later
You're still on my mind

Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time tonight

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the One for you
